Accompaniment Without the Limitations of ABC

If you want total harmonic freedom in your accompaniment tracks, unrestrained by the limits
of the ABC system, simply record the accompaniment for your song in sections, recording
the required chord/harmonic changes directly into as many patterns as your song requires
(remember, patterns can be up to 8 measures long). Then, when recording the accompani-
ment tracks in the SONG mode, use the "- - - " chord type so that the pattern data is played
back unmodified. You might need to record several patterns containing the various chord
changes you need for your song, but you don't have to worry about how the ABC system
might alter your accompaniment when it is played back.
